I will say this up front, this has some great ideas for businesses that will not translate to churches, at least night right away.
I don’t see pastors finding immediate needs for phablets or wearables. But I do think this will help create a culture of out-of-the-box thinking.
Read through the infographic below, keep an open mind, and we’d love to hear: How you are going to be using new tech in church?
Here are three ideas you can take back to your senior pastor for your new year.
- Americans spend 151 minutes A DAY on their smartphones. Telling congregation members to put away their phones is actually taking them out of their culture, something Jesus did not command.
- Want to think outside of the box? Buy a drone and use it for youth ministry or a flash mob to serve your community and get it all on camera!
- 1 in 5 Google search are related to location. If people are looking for something Christian, will your church come up? That’s 20% of BILLIONS of searches every year.
